The Droß - Gföhl route starts directly in the centre of Droß and leads along idyllic forest and woodland paths to the Poberkreuz. It is possible to shorten the hike at this point and walk down to Senftenberg via Bannholz. However, the regular route continues towards the Duke's Table to the mighty granite boulders with incredible views: A picturesque view stretches here from the Kremstal to Göttweig Abbey and even far into the foothills of the Alps. Across the Hussite Cross, the hike finally leads to its destination in Gföhl. There, the baroque parish church of St. Andreas invites you to an impressive last stop and thus a fitting end to a relaxed hiking tour well worth seeing.
Author’s recommendation
Listed buildings and magnificent structures characterise Gföhl - especially the baroque Pfarrkirche St. Andreas.
